-WIFI
ESP8285 implements TCP/IP, the full 802.11 b/g/n/e/i WLAN MAC protocol and Wi-Fi
Direct specification. It supports not only basic service set (BSS) operations under the distributed control function
(DCF) but also P2P group operation compliant with the latest Wi-Fi P2P protocol. Low level protocol functions are handled automatically by ESP8285.
• RTS/CTS
• acknowledgement
• fragmentation and defragmentation

3.2 Time base of the RF frequency
-SIGFOX
For Sigfox RF frequency, a TCXO(48MHz) is a clock reference.
-BLE
Using external 32.768 kHz crystal for RTC.
The 64 MHz crystal oscillator (HFXO) is controlled by a 32 MHz external crystal.
-WIFI
The high frequency clock on ESP8285 is used to drive both transmit and receive mixers.
This clock is generated from internal crystal oscillator and external crystal. The crystal frequency is 26 MHz.
Version 1.0 WISOL page 3 of 8
-GPS(GLONASS)
The RTC is driven internally by a 32.768 Hz oscillator, which makes use of an external RTC crystal.
For GPS(GLONASS) RF frequency, a TCXO(26MHz) is a clock reference.
3.3 Transmission
-SIGFOX
The Tx path produces a DBPSK-modulated signal. modulate RF signal generated by the synthesizer. The modulated RF signal is fed to the integrated RX/TX switch and antenna interface and then out of the AX-SFUS-
1-01.
-BLE
The RADIO contains a 2.4 GHz radio receiver and a 2.4 GHz radio transmitter that is compatible with
Nordic's proprietary 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps radio modes in addition to 1 Mbps Bluetooth® low energy mode.
-WIFI
The 2.4 GHz transmitter up-converts the quadrature baseband signals to 2.4 GHz, and drives the antenna with a high-power CMOS power amplifier. The function of digital calibration further improves the linearity of the power amplifier, enabling a state of art performance of delivering +19.5 dBm average power for 802.11b ransmission and +16dBm for 802.11n transmission.
Additional calibrations are integrated to offset any imperfections of the radio, such as:
• Carrier leakage
• I/Q phase matching
• Baseband nonlinearities
These built-in calibration functions reduce the product test time and make the test equipment unnecessary.
3.4 Receiver
-SIGFOX
The Rx path is able to receive 922.3MHz signal and the noise amplifier is built in the inside of the chip, it amplifies the received signal by the low noise amplifier according to the receiving intensity, and the amplified signal is converted into the digital signal through the ADC, Packets will be interpreted.
-BLE
The RADIO contains a 2.4 GHz radio receiver and a 2.4 GHz radio transmitter that is compatible with
Nordic's proprietary 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps radio modes in addition to 1 Mbps Bluetooth® low energy mode.
-WIFI
The 2.4-GHz receiver down-converts the RF signals to quadrature baseband signals and converts them to the digital domain with 2 high resolution high speed ADCs. To adapt to varying signal channel conditions, RF filters, automatic gain control (AGC), DC offset cancelation circuits and baseband filters are integrated within ESP8285.
Version 1.0 WISOL page 4 of 8
-GPS(GLONASS) u-blox 8 GNSS chips are single GNSS receivers which can receive and track either GPS or GLONASS signals.
By default the u-blox 8 receivers are configured for GPS, including SBAS and QZSS reception. If power consumption is a key factor, then QZSS and SBAS should be disabled.
